There's a lot of news coming out of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today, but since we can't compete with the well-funded gadget blogs, I suggest you read up on the details at The Verge (or Engadget). One thing stood out to me, though. While the entire industry is moving towards more cores, more megapixels, more gigahertz, more display inches - Microsoft is doing the exact opposite. Windows Phone has been updated and optimised to run on slower hardware.

Their action is logical, although it comes very late. Almost nobody is willing to pay 300+€ for a Windows Phone device. Looking at the eBay Germany price trends, the Lumia 800 and Samsung Galaxy S2 sold for the same price in November, but since then the Lumia's price has dropped close to the Galaxy S price. Both Samsung models have hardly budged in price during that period. http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/1794/pricetrendslumiavsgalax.png
